Giraffes

My favorite animal on our safari was the giraffe. They seem other worldly, almost awkward, until you see the grace of their movement. Our first experience was at the Giraffe Center in Nairobi, which allowed Roslyn to feed a giraffe. But far more satisfying was our game drives. In the pictures you will see the mating ritual known appropriately, as necking. You might also notice their unique method of walking. Both right legs in unison and then the left. Enjoy

The above are from the Giraffe Center.  They care for injured giraffes, and promote the welfare of the animals.


We enjoyed the sweetness of the giraffes necking.










\Being in a conservancy allowed us to get remarkably close.





We enjoyed seeing the giraffes on the horizon.



Other than the big cats, the giraffes peacefully coexist with other animals.



A few more shots on the savanna.
